He Has Done All Things Well

And they were astonished beyond measure, saying, "He has done all things well. He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak."
-Mark 7:37

He truly has done ALL things well. He lived the life of perfect obedience which we failed to do, He died the perfect death which we could never think of doing, and He established the assurance of our salvation with his perfect resurrection. As we are shown the miracles of his healing and restoring power in the gospel accounts, let us remember that these are not simply trivial displays of power. Rather, in his ministry of healing and restoration to the blind, the deaf, and the mute, Christ was showing us the way in which He works in the world at large. That which is broken will be made right. Those who have turned from God will be turned back and restored to Him. A world which once fully displayed His glory in a perfect way will be made to do so once more. May we all recall the healing and restorative power that Christ has displayed and will continue to make known in our own experiences, and thank Him that he has done it well.
